Storage of a Samsung W20 has always been a worry, for many years phones have not necessarily been equipped with a large enough internal storage or an SD slot to increase the capacity of the latter. Having said that, in recent years the volume issue has been resolved, now people are starting to take an interest in the subject of RAM, this other kind of memory is almost as important as your phone's internal memory. We will precisely in this article help you if you have any questions on this topic.
In this article you will see how to check the RAM memory of its Samsung W20? To do this, we will first teach you what your phone's RAM is used for, then, how to know the RAM of your Samsung W20 , and, to conclude, whether it is possible to increase the volume of RAM memory on your phone.
What is the point of RAM on a Samsung W20?
We start this tutorial by briefly explaining to you what is and what is the RAM on a Samsung W20. This term actually comes from the English "Random Access Memory", it will allow you to store the data that the processor needs over a short period of time. Among other things, it will allow you to run several applications simultaneously, it is this which will therefore keep in memory all the data necessary to keep applications in the background. If you play greedy games which require a lot of resources and computation on the side of the processor, it is the RAM that will take over and allow the processor to have all the data at hand.
A high amount of RAM memory will therefore be essential to have high performance on your Samsung W20. However, it's a bit like everything, after a certain volume your processor will not be powerful enough to use it and you will therefore have unused memory. It will therefore be necessary to find the right compromise between processor power and the amount of RAM. At the moment, high-end smartphones have 8 to 10 GB of RAM which is huge!
How to know the RAM of your Samsung W20?
We now move on to the verification part, which surely interests you the most, and, in this context, we will now reveal to you how to find out everything about the RAM of your Samsung W20. To do this, first of all, we will teach you how to know the amount of RAM present on your phone, then, how to know where you are with its use.
How to check the amount of RAM installed on your Samsung W20?
We therefore start with the procedure to find out the amount of RAM equipped on your Samsung W20. As you will have understood, the greater the volume of RAM, the more the processor will be able to perform tasks, letting others run at the bottom of the task without suffering latency or slowing down. There are two alternatives to access this data:
- Directly from the “Settings” of your Samsung W20
- Go to the "Settings" of your phone
- Find the menu "Device maintenance" or “Device optimization”, depending on the Android version installed on your Samsung W20 this may vary, however, this is the menu in which you can observe the consumption of the various critical points of your phone (battery, RAM , storage… )
- Now that you are in this menu, you should identify the “Memory” indicator and see the maximum volume displayed, this is the amount of RAM equipped on your Samsung W20
- Passing by CPU-Z
- Download and install CPU-Z , a small application that allows you to get a lot of details about your phone
- Launch the application
- Go to the section "Device"
- You will get the amount of RAM installed on your Samsung W20 in the section "Total RAM"
How to check the RAM usage of Samsung W20?
To know the RAM usage of your Samsung W20 and to know if it saturates or if you still have the margin, there are also two methods which are almost identical to those which we just showed you just before. It is a test which can be enriching to understand the reason why your Samsung W20 is making you feel latencies. Let's go:
- Going through your phone settings
- Go to the "Settings" of your phone
- In the "Device maintenance" menu, locate the "Memory" indicator
- You will have a ratio as well as a progress bar that gives you the amount of memory used
- Thanks to CPU-Z
- Open CPU-Z
- Go to the tab "Device"
- In "Available RAM" you will see the amount of RAM available on your Samsung W20, as well as a percentage to simplify its interpretation
If you notice that you have very little RAM available without necessarily having a lot of running applications, it is surely necessary close background applications that saturate it. You can also clear the cache of your Samsung W20 to free up space and improve your performance.
Is it possible to increase the amount of RAM memory on a Samsung W20?
If you notice that your RAM is regularly full, it makes perfect sense to ask yourself if you can increase the amount of RAM on your Samsung W20 ? Unfortunately on a Smartphone this operation is impossible… You will therefore have to better manage your uses, close the applications you do not use, or switch to a more powerful phone.
